Golden Gate Transit bus runs over boy's arm in Sausalito

A Golden Gate Transit bus ran over the arm of a 9-year-old boy on Saturday afternoon after the child fell off his bike and hit the side of the bus as it was pulling away from a stop on busy Bridgeway in Sausalito.

The unidentified boy was taken to Marin General Hospital to be treated for injuries he suffered when the bus tire ran over his arm at about 2:14 p.m. His condition was not known Saturday evening, but his injury was not life threatening, said Sausalito Police Sgt. Bil Fraass.

The boy was riding northbound on the sidewalk with another child when he fell off his bike as the bus was leaving a stop at Bridgeway and Napa Street. The bus kept on going after the incident because the driver was not aware of what had happened, Sgt. Fraass said.

Police were interviewing witnesses on Saturday, trying to determine what caused the child to fall off his bike into the path of the bus.
